9 1/2 Weeks To Go!

Hi, everybody!

Olivia here and there are just over two months left until my arrival!

The doctor moved my due date up to July 10th and I might even get to make my appearance as early as July 8th!

Don't get me wrong! I like it in here. It's nice and warm and snuggly. But I've heard so much about my Daddy and Mommy and Big Sister Abbey that I can't wait to get out and see them!

Mommy and I are going to see Dr. Carter every two weeks this month. Then, next month, we'll go every week so he can check on my progress. Mommy says I feel much bigger and am more active than Abbey was, so I might even be born earlier than expected!

I'm so proud of Daddy because he's finishing school for the year and working real hard for us! He gets to start a new job soon and we're excited about it!

Know what? Mommy and Daddy are going to take me to the beach for the first time to celebrate their fourth anniversary! Mommy says it will be fun for her to float in the ocean. So, I'll be floating in here while she's floating out there! Abbey's going to stay home with Sarah, our babysitter, so it'll be just the three of us for maybe the last time. I can't wait!

Sorry I don't have any new pictures for you, but it's kinda dark in here and we're saving our film for the big day! Keep in touch!

Love,

Olivia

Long Live Olivia!

That's right, folks. I have a name!

Mommy and Daddy picked the name, Olivia for me and I just LOVE it, don't you?

"Olivia" is from a Latin word that means "bringer of peace."

I like that, because that's what Jesus did when he came into the world.

In just a little more than three months, I'll be born and can help bring peace, too!

Keep Mommy in your prayers because her heel has been hurting recently and she still has a lot of walking to do before I get out of here!

Thanks for praying for Daddy's job. He's going to have a brand-new one even closer to our home and won't have to work outside in the hot weather anymore!

I hope you like the pictures I picked out (below). One is of my big sister, Abbey, trying to touch me through Mommy's tummy. The others are from a recent visit to the doctor, when he used a special camera to look at me on the inside.

Before I go, I want to say, "Happy Birthday" to my cousin, Jayme, who turns three tomorrow, and to my Grammy, who turns ____ on Friday. (Mommy says she might not like her age posted on the World Wide Web!)

Hope you have a great week!

Love,

Olivia (Middle Name Still Unannounced!)

This Is My Best Side!

I'm A Girl!

Yep!

Mommy went to the doctor the other day and found out I'm a GIRL! Isn't that great! That means Abbey and I will be sisters! (That's why I changed my blogsite to pink!)

Best of all, because I already have tons of girl cousins, I'll get lots and lots of clothes for free! I might even have a different outfit for every day of the year!

My name? Well, you'll have to wait a while on that one. Daddy and Mommy are still trying to decide. But, I'm sure they'll come up with a good one! Right now, I'm just glad to know I'm a girl!

Mommy first felt me move in her tummy about three weeks ago and I'm not going to stop until July when they let me out of here! Thanks for your prayers about her side. It doesn't hurt anymore! Praise the Lord!

Be sure to pray for my big sister, Abbey, because she goes to doctor on Tuesday to get tubes put in her ears. That should help her feel better when it's all over with.

I hope to have a picture of my sonogram to post next time. Until then, you'll just have to use your imagination on who I look like. I tried to get Mommy to swallow a mirror so I can see for myself, but she won't do it! I hope I'm as pretty as my big sister!

Thanks for visiting and I'll see you soon!

Love,

New Baby GIRL Texan
